There is street parking along Coast Highway in front of our store, but there is also a parking lot behind the building with rear entry. Our ADA entrance is through the front, so please consider your accessibility requirements. To access the back parking lot turn West (towards the beach) on Wisconsin Ave. Turn left onto S. Tremont St. The entrance to the parking lot is the first driveway on the left.

For workshops and parties involving stencil designs, we do require that participants choose their designs in advance due to the needed time to print your personal piece. For private parties, we also require that you choose your project in advance to ensure we have sufficient materials to accommodate your group.

That’s a total bummer! If you can’t make it to a workshop after registration, you have TWO options: 1. Send someone in your place. 2. Have your registration fee credited to a different workshop and/or party.

Absolutely! To obtain a gift certificate, please visit us in store, or call us at (760) 550-7494.

As artists ourselves, we love to take on commissions. If you can’t make it an event, please contact us with your design idea, and we will begin the process for a commissioned sale.

To ensure the safety of our participants, we have an age requirement of 16+ for workshops and BYOB parties. For participants 16 and younger, please schedule a private party. Contact us to schedule your party today!

Because of the unique nature of our studio where we offer workshops in a variety of mediums, our costs vary. However, we pride ourselves on making the arts accessible with an average price of $40 per project. ***Remember that averages reflect a mean of a list of project costs.

Absolutely! Most of our personalized projects will be in the form of our beautiful DIY signs. We ask participants to inform us of personalizations at the time of registration.

Participating in our art studio will expose guests to a variety of materials including paints, solvents, power tools, and more. There are potential risks for each of these items, and we teach and encourage appropriate use and safety around these products. While we do guide painting processes, we do not require that our participants use power tools. The greatest risk for each participant is damaged clothes. Please read on to discover, "What do I wear?" in the next question.

Peace of HeART allotts 3 hours for workshops and parties to ensure a stress-free experience.

Many of the materials we work with are prone to damaging clothes. Therefore we suggest that our guests wear clothing items of less value (including shoes) as some of the materials we use can cause stains that cannot be removed. It is also recommended that guests wear closed toed shoes to protect them little piggies! We do provide aprons, but we cannot guarantee that your clothing be fully protected.

Peace of HeART Expressions allows food and drink with the agreement that participants clean up their messes as they leave. We do have a tea and coffee station, but do not offer food for workshops or parties. Workshops are alcohol free, while parties are B.Y.O.B.
